Dr. LiCalzi is a professor of Political Economy and the current chair of the Department of Political Economy at the College of Idaho. He will talk about the current happenings in our legislative session as we are about mid-session at this time.
Dr. LiCalzi is the Political Analyst for KIVI, channel 6, and is frequently featured as an expert on political economy by the radio and newspapers both locally and nationally.
He recently published his book, “Idaho Politics and Government: Culture Clash and Conflicting Values in the Gem State.” His motivation in writing this book was his need for a book for his political economy class for state and local politics and he thought maybe he just ought to write one himself. This process began back in 2015.
So, come hear what Dr. Jasper LiCalzi has to say about the legislative happenings in our state during this mid-point in our legislative session!

Check out these happy 2nd graders from Mrs. Stansell's 2nd grade class with Rotarian Leora Summers after receiving a "chapter book" from Caldwell Rotary Club as a part of our club's commitment to our area's youth and our literacy project. The club will deliver about 1,400 chapter books to 18 elementary schools in Canyon and Owyhee County from now until finished.
Delivering the 2nd grade books is a fun and enjoyable experience as you hand out each book individually to each student. The excitement is high and each child thanks you for their book.

Sadie Dittenber, daughter of Mike and Tammy Dittenber, spent her Rotary Youth Exchange year in Sweden, leaving last August and returning on June 14th of this year. The buttons on her jacket symbolize places and experiences that she had while on her exchange. She had to learn the language of her exchange country. Sadie spoke of her experience to our club and really expanded her horizons, not only geographically, but also personally. Rotary is a "true exchange" program, where when Rotary District 5400 sends out a certain number of students on exchanges all over the world, our District receives that same number from other countries in return. Sadie was sponsored by Caldwell Rotary Club.

Fifteen members were officially initiated into the newly formed College of Idaho Rotaract Club on February 29th. Rotaract is a student service club modeled after the ideals of Rotary International.

Congratulations to the new club and its newly installed officers and board: Melissa Oberto (president), Lauren Smyser (vice-president), Emily Hamilton (treasurer), Chadia Mugisha (secretary), Amber Tavener (board), Omar Aguero (board) and Kaitlin Heller (board).
Paul Harris Fellow Awards are given to members who have earned $1,000 marks in giving or with combined recognition points to The Rotary Foundation (TRF), which is the international working arm of the organization that promotes peace through humanitarian efforts across the globe, with the emphasis on health, education and other related projects.
